Apple Disabled Audio/Video Playback in HTML5 | Flowz While putting together an HTML5 prototype for a client, we ran into an unexpected hurdle: Apple has disabled programmatic playback of audio and video in HTML5. Essentially, the only way a webpage can play audio or video for a user, is if that user clicks a play button. This works: <a href="javascript:audio.play()">Play</a> This doesn’t: <script> setTimeout("audio.play()", 1000); </script> Despite all of Apple’s statements about being pro web standards, they have crippled HTML5 as an App platform. In Safari on iOS (for all devices, including iPad), where the user may be on a cellular network and be charged per data unit, preload and autoplay are disabled. Even though they state autoplay is disabled, all JavaScript initiated play() calls are ignored in MobileSafari. That reasoning is hogwash. Awesome HTML5 Games like: Bio Lab and HTML5 game engines like: Impact are now useless on iOS. While desperately searching for workarounds, I’ve found a few possible solutions.
